The good people of Twitter did not disappoint. Cue some seriously fond (and occasionally frustrating) Pokémon memories.

My favorite moment from the Pokemon video games was in the Red & Blue... After defeating the Elite Four, getting through the cave near the end and finding Mewtwo to battle and catch him! 😀It was so epic and I think everyone saved their master ball for him.#PokemonDaypic.twitter.com/wofUzPrp0i

My favorite moment from the Pokémon video game series is definitely experiencing Pokémon BW for the first time. Everything from trying out the new features to meeting all the wonderful Unovan citizens (and Pokémon!) makes the whole experience very dear to me. ❤️🖤 #PokemonDay

For me, it was simply sitting in the Gates in BW and listening to the music. That song is still one of my favorite video game songs ever. Gen 5 still has the best soundtrack out of any Pokémon game, and if you don't believe me, go listen to the credits for B2/W2 #PokemonDay

Bought Pokemon Diamond for the DS in April 2007 when I was 8 years old. It was the first Pokemon game I could play with friends. I still remember the team I first beat the Elite 4 with. I have 400+ hours put into it and it's the only game that I haven't restarted #PokemonDayhttps://t.co/3ribqS0CmH

And finally this one, the mere thought of which literally made me shudder.

I let my little brother who could barely read, but knew how Pokemon worked, play my first Pokemon game: Yellow version. He said "I caught you a Rattata." Much later, after saving, I realized he had been able to read "ball" and used one. My master ball. #PokemonDayhttps://t.co/Tjjid8tDBi
